    This was an excellent tour! Lyndsey was very friendly, warm and engaging and we learned so many interesting things about the history of the pubs, Britain and Cambridge itself. We felt like Lyndsey was our friend and we had such a fun night we didn’t want it to end! This is a really unique and original tour not to be missed, you’ll love it as much as we did!

    The tour was excellent, presenting a mix of historical facts and local anecdotes. Josh was a great guide --- he loves history and knows how to communicate it well. It was also interesting to hear what it is like being a student at Cambridge. As another reviewer has noted, highly recommended to do this on your first night in Cambridge. One of us does not drink, yet we still had a great time!
